EIA: US energy-related CO2 fell by 2.8% in 2019, slightly below 2017 levels

Green Car Congress

MAY 11, 2020

CO 2 emissions from coal fell by 14.6%, the largest annual percentage drop in any fuel’s CO 2 emissions in EIA’s annual CO 2 data series dating back to 1973. The United States now emits less CO 2 from coal than from motor gasoline. In 2019, the transportation sector’s energy-related CO2 emissions declined by 0.7%

This was the result of growing renewable power generation, switches from coal to natural gas, improvements in energy efficiency, as well as structural changes in the global economy. The decline was driven by a surge in shale gas supplies and more attractive renewable power that displaced coal. Fatih Birol, the IEA’s executive director.

It is a liquid alcohol fuel produced from a variety of feedstocks, including natural gas, coal, biomass, or even carbon dioxide. Over 2 million electric cars were sold in 2017. It primarily consists of methane (CH4) and carbon dioxide (CO2), with trace amounts of other gases. I would say that electric vehicles are not rare.
